God help them. Please.

Unfortunately ####, you and I both know this is how it will probably be done.......

Roger that.

Where's that 17mm crows foot? What 17mm crows foot?
Where the torque wrench that hasn't been drooped heaps, the new one? I just use a spanner.....
What's the torque settings for the injector hold down clamps? I think it was 35nm?
How about the leakage pipe? I think it's the same.
And it's goes on......

Loose seats? Or squashed seats? Which will last longer?

Hopefully not that bad.

Why do we call it a leakage pipe? I know, if I just tighten everything a little more then nothing should leak. Right?

That's the way, good work, we don't want any leaks in there. Give it a little bit more to be sure.

I think I heard that exact conversation from two mechanics while picking up parts once.

I have ordered the Mini VCI cable and started to set up Techstream on an older Win 7 machine that I do not use for much else these days.
Only problem is it has a 64 bit operating system.
Do you still need to do all the rigmarole with manually installing the VCI drivers and registry, or is it easier now ?

Hi all
Well got my Techstream going and did an initial reading, only on hot engine and I am new to this, but the readings are

2008 D4-D Prado. 102,000km

Engine speed 695 rpm
Inj volume 8.94

Feedback values
#1 -1.1
#2 +1.4
#3 +1.7
#4 -2.5

Seems like many, #4 is getting a concern.
Will do a run from cold to hot tomorrow and feed the results to Baileys.

They're on the way, lets see them cold, say after30 seconds to 1 minute.
Not too bad for that many klms, but due for replacement very soon.

It's always #4... I wonder why that is...

Not always.

I find 1 & 3 a lot, the pair often, 4 is up there, they all go bad eventually.
More oily soot sh!t ends up in 4 as its right there.
Then Less air, so an even richer mix? Just a theory that one Knock knock pop pop......

Overall not a bad picture, but 4 is out & not worth the risk of leaving it.
The total volume is at a level which shows they are getting flogged out.
Wack a set in with new pipes & an egr clean & it will be running better too.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

It's all sorted. Baileys DLC injectors fitted, new fuel pipes, EGR checked and cleaned and a few other bits and bobs.

Purrs like a kitten now and runs like new.

Anthony did the job. Hassle free. Everything taken care of, great care taken with the installation, and I think a very fair price. Thanks Anthony.

I think this is a good risk management exercise for everybody with a D4-D ( or any common rail for that matter ) to consider.

My pleasure to be of assistance & help out with it. Thank you.

That last line you wrote, is definately good advise.

Once again check & replace as necessary. Expect to change them about every 120k as a routine.
Second time round is more likely to need valve clearance adjustment.
